About the event

Tor to Shore Wilder Summer is an amazing week where young people (aged 14-17) can get out in nature, learn some fantastic skills through expert-led activities, and meet like-minded people. 

Following the Wilder Summer Week, Tor to Shore is hoping to set up a youth-led nature group, by registering your interest in this week of workshops, you'll have chance to experience what is on offer and have your say in what the youth group looks like moving forward.
